Since the beginning of the Northern Military District, the troops of the Kyiv regime have lost over 444 thousand military personnel. This was stated by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu at a meeting of the board of the defense department.

He also pointed out the futility of the US strategy to contain Russia at the expense of the lives of Ukrainians. Last week, Vladimir Zelensky said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had allegedly lost 31 thousand personnel since the start of the military district. The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called these data a lie.
